FORM Road Cleat Wedges – Angled wedges that correct foot positioning
BIOMECHANICAL APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS
FORM Bikefitting angled wedges are a professional solution for road cyclists, allowing for correct foot positioning to eliminate problems resulting from excessive pronation or supination . Their use brings real benefits in everyday riding:
- Knee Alignment Correction: By changing the foot's angle, wedges indirectly correct the knee's alignment (leg tracking). This reduces medial (internal) or lateral (external) knee pain.
- Stability and control: Ensures a more secure foot placement on the pedal, which increases proprioception (feel) and stability under load.
- Maximizes power transfer: Optimal foot support eliminates unwanted micro-movements, allowing for a more direct transfer of power to the drivetrain.
- Eliminates discomfort: Helps prevent foot numbness and pinch points by equalizing pressure on the sole of the shoe.
PRODUCT DESIGN AND FEATURES
This model has been designed with the highest demands of road cycling in mind, combining durability with precise fit:
- Stackable: Each wedge offers 1° of loft. The design allows multiple wedges to be stacked to achieve up to 4° of loft on a single shoe.
- Anti-slip surface: A special texture prevents the cleat from sliding relative to the wedge and the wedge from sliding relative to the shoe, ensuring consistent settings.
- Universal Compatibility: The wedges work with all 3-hole road systems such as Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo and pedal-based power meters.
- Complete mounting kit: The kit includes 4 wedges and dedicated, longer mounting screws necessary for a stable installation or 20 wedges without screws.
